Extrema Ratio Requiem 18

This is a true tactical knife, very well suited to its intended purpose. However, as a collectors piece it is stylish and very well made, if a bit impractical for utility use. I have used mine for cutting chores while camping, and the slim handle can make forceful cutting tiring. The pay off is that this knife is very compact and light. Pair it with an axe and you actually turn a tacticool mall-ninja artifact into a capable cutting tool. As usual with Extrema Ratio, this light and slim blade looks gorgeous and mean at the same time; no one in the world can out-design the Italians, be it cars, knives or anything else. Unlike their cars, this knife is reliable! The steel is the usual that Extrema Ratio offer, N690. Its middle of the road performance generally, but Extrema Ratio definitely know how to get the best out of it. It has not great but certainly good enough edge retention, and is plenty tough. Sharpening is fairly easy too. To sum up, a stylish slim-Jim, and a lot more usuful than it looks.

i bought one in black. Gladly paid the extra bit for the coating. Very good solid knife, good size and sold locking in the sheath. it does rattle in the sheat however quite a bit. also the coating rubs off slowly from inserting in the sheath and drawing it but i guess your not supposed to play with it in and out all the time. it still holds up nicely though. Quality is excellent. solid feel throughout.

Excellent knife with a cracking sheath, will be woth me next time I deploy to the bad lands. Sorry to nag you HH but I really wanted one and sits on my person perfectly thnaks to its wonderful sheath. Thanks a million HH

received today. nice looking,sits in hand well,even with large hands is ok,but.... two things. 1- the sheath,a novel /functional release clip,which works well enough,but the fit! it rattles rather a lot.only a minor niggle some will say,but im sure some sort of constriction toward sheath end to prevent this wouldnt be to hard to sort during manufacture.not a terribly expensive knife,but dear enough to have niggles like this sorted . 2- its as blunt .... i know it is designed as a thrusting/stabbing blade, but on any new knife, would expect to pass the a4 paper cut test. nope.blunt as blunt can be. not too happy. so ,has potential to be a little cracker,but as it sits ,a rather overpriced piece,riding the extrema ratio name.would i have another??? not without physically handling first. good service from HH re delivery ,as always.
